How does Ripley fit?

[jazzcat]

I walked into the sunroom and saw this. I don't see how Ripley squeezes himself in there sometimes.



I tried to get a close up - he's between the chair legs with his head resting on top.


Then he moved in for closer close up.


Moments before I took the pictures Scout had been in the top perch of the cat tree. I put up a new bird bath outside and they watch it by the hour.

I don't know HOW cats can squeze into some places...and sleep there to boot! Im convinced cats don't have bones, they just present that illusion...

Ripley is a very handsome boy indeed. Is he part or full Maine coon?

[jazzcat]

He's part Maine Coon. His mother was a solid white Maine Coon and his dad... a mystery. He weighs in at almost 18 pounds right now - down from his heavier days. The vet would like to see him down to 16.5 - 17.

Love the sunroom and Ripley pictures Lori! What I also notice is how similar Rip and Dylan's facial expressions are - must be those big round green eyes? I think it as Twink who said he reminded her of her grandma!! Something about a wise look.
Anyway - I really enjoyed these pictures. I don't know he fits under there either!!

Ripley has magic tricks up his sleeves, err furr legs

[Laura's Babies]

He has a new name "The amazing Squished Cat!" He has learned how to squish himself to fit these places!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I've always been amazed at what they can squeeze themselves into, also. Although I have to admit, using the chair leg for a head rest was a good idea.

He has such an adorable mug.

Last Winter I left my patio door open about maybe 4" if that and sure enough I watched as Max squeezed his furry body out onto the deck. What's with that??

Kisses to you sweet Ripley. Don't give away your secret.

[Twink]

Awwww, Ripley's such a big handsome hunk of fur. You just gotta love him.

What a great back yard you have!

[kimlovescats]

I'm not surprised that Ripley can squeeze under that chair ... he squeezed himself right into my HEART a looooooong time ago!!!

[catnapper]

I never realized what a big boy Ripley is before! But like all kitty cats, the tighter the space, the happier they are - unless of course its the hooman's bed. then they spread out and demand as much space as they can possibly take up!

[catcrazylady]

Ripley you are an extra handsome boy!!! I don't know how you fit in there but you sure are cute!!
Lori I still can't get over how much he and Magoo look alike! It jsut blows me away. You'll have to tell Ripley that he has a "Mini Me" in Kentucky!

Your back yard is GORGEOUS!

[catmandu]

That is always amazing to me, how these Big Cats, want to squeeze themselves,into such Small Spaces! You think that they couldnt possibly,be comfortable,but there they are!

[sirrahbed]

Funny to look at all over again! When our plush kitties squeeze into tight spaces - hubby always rolls his eyes and says they have a "good body image!" Guess Ripley has a good self image - as he should!

[krazyaboutkatz]

I don't know how they do it either but mine love to sleep in small places too. I guess it makes them feel extra secure.

Ripley sure is gorgeous no matter where he decides to sleep.
